Alabama peeps were really disappointed in Mizzou's gameday atmosphere. They excused the baseball-centered night before the game for obvious reasons, but they by and large couldn't justify what the felt was a significant lack of tailgating.

Besides, it wasn't even raining hard at 10am (and if there's anything I've learned about SEC tailgating/gamedaying its that if you aren't milling about by 10am then you're going to look like a n00b).

No, I haven't. Sorry. I suspect it's similat to what we do when the Chiefs play.

I'm in CA. I just saw the rain pouring during the game and a girl I know who was there texted me and said about 30% of the crowd got the hell out just before the delay was called. And from the looks of it, most did not return.

Although it's been years since I've been to Faurot Field (my last forays were 98 and 00) I didn't spend much time in the parking lot. The place wasn't real friendly to KSU folks when we were winning.

Isn't it cute when fans get exited about 3-Stars recruits. And this being the golden age of Missouri Football.

Golden Age of Missouri football is still the Dan Devine era, though this is the next-best one.

As for Printz... he's an awesome get because he gives Missouri QB depth in this class, something I think they have to focus on moving forward (considering the injury problems with Franklin this year and inadequate play from Berkstresser.

He's also a pretty good player. Very productive in a tough football district, good size, good arm strength. He's also very intelligent.

It's also important because it's a solid recruit in a new territory for us.

Really looking forward to SEC road game tour. Big 12 road games were becoming routine. Big 12 friendliest were in Lincoln. Worst? Lawrence, but what would one expect. Finances tight this year. Hope to start SEC tour next year.

Vandy was perfect weather and the tailgating was crap. I was a little disappointed, to tell you the truth.

Part of the problem right now is that there just isn't a tailgating 'area'. The parking lots are spread out around the stadium and there's no central location like The Grove.

That and the fact that Mizzou has a long LONG way to go to build the tradition that the boys in 'Bama are used to seeing. I'm not sure what they expected to see on the first go-round, in the rain and with the football team struggling pretty badly right now.
